Merry Christmas readers!
Once upon a time, Christ the Savior was
born, and even though the Christmas season is a fabricated time to
commemorate his birth, it sure doesn't hurt to have cozy times with our
loved ones. I look forward to this every year.
About the shortage of recipes... since our rotisserie chicken give away, I have been insanely swamped with a variety of things, and it's been dark, rainy and not particularly inspirational for me to cook or take good photos (even on a sunny day I have a kitchen on the darker side of the house which makes it hard to get nice exposures w/o a little Photoshopping.)
But since it's Christmas now, I will just tell you I made some really yummy hot cocoa tonight, off-the-cuff style.
Take a small pot and pour in 1 1/2 cups milk (preferably whole, but you could probably also do rice milk, almond milk, or soy milk if you have a dairy issue.)
Scald the milk until hot, but not boiling. Vigorously whisk in 3 teaspoons cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or other sweetener to taste) and a pinch of sea salt.
For a little extra grown-up flair, add a splash of Kahlua, Frangelico, Peppermint Schnapps, or Baileys.
I don't have any photos, because I left my camera at my parents while we were decorating their Christmas tree.
Where recipes are more of a recommendation, and not the rule.

I love me some good hot choco! I'll have to try it :)
ReplyDeleteAll measurements are off the cuff, Desi! Make sure to adjust according to taste. I sometimes add a little extra cocoa, or a little more sugar, just depending on my mood! :)
